Beekeeping for Restoration of the Degraded Ecosystems
Bees are important pollinators, and many ecosystems depend on the pollination by bees for their existence and for increasing their genetic diversity through cross-pollination. Bee pollinators have a strong influence on ecological relationships, ecosystem conservation and stability, genetic variation within the plant community, floral diversity, and specialization and evolution. Bees play an important role in ecosystem services (Crane, 1999). Generally, honey bees are important pollinators responsible for the healthy development of the environment through enhancing the transfer of pollen grains, which necessitate the genetic diversity of different species. Most importantly, Tropical Honey uses beekeeping as a practical tool for raising the awareness of these communities on the importance of forest management and for stimulating their conservation by improving their biodiversity.
We have established Tropical Tree Seedling Center for seedlings production to create a sustainable, forage-rich environment that supports bee health, enhances biodiversity, increases honey production and local livelihood needs. We distribute nectar-rich, and native seedlings to beekeepers and community for reforestation or apiary enrichment, which directly improve honey production, reduce forest degradation, and foster rural development. We support tree planting and environmental conservation initiatives to boost production of nectars and pollens, which are the basis of honey. This is a point of difference and an important basis for supporting our investment initiatives.
